Empathy more important than knowledge and skill: Collector
The Hindu
He urges young doctors to strive for inner gratification
More than knowledge and skill, young doctors should develop an empathetic attitude for a successful career and inner gratification, said Collector S. Aneesh Sekhar.
Addressing the graduation ceremony of 2014 batch of MBBS students here on Sunday, he said that doctors should learn to patiently hear to the problems of their patients and find solutions to them. COVID-19 had made people realise the true value and character of medical community that helped them tide over the humanitarian crisis. “Medical career is not a profession but a calling and lure of money should not stand in the way of realising the greatest satisfaction of helping others in reducing their sufferings and saving their lives,” he said.
